Publisher's summary

Now an Amazon top five best seller!

An all-new dark stand-alone romance from the USA Today and Wall Street Journal best-selling author, Shantel Tessier.

His lady.

A Lord is to marry after he graduates from Barrington University, an elite college for the rich. A Lady’s job is to help him fit into a world unaware of his secret society. The Lord does not get to choose who he spends the rest of his life with. But there is always an exception to the rule. And I just so happen to be his.

I vow. You vow. We vow.

I was to wed a Lord of my parents’ choosing. Wealth can’t buy you everything, or I would've had freedom years ago. Instead, my strict parents made sure I lived a dull life in a mansion resembling a prison.

But on my wedding day, I was handed over to another man—an even more ruthless Lord that my family hated.

Tyson Riley Crawford only wanted me for his revenge. I’m nothing more than a debt to be paid. I didn’t have a say in the matter. So when I said my vows before the congregation, I knew I’d break them. Consequences be damned.

Too bad I underestimated my husband and didn’t realize he was more determined to punish me than I was to succeed at escaping. He’ll make me choke on those words I used to bind myself to him.

Yet even he couldn’t have seen what our future held. Ultimately, we’re all just pawns in a game that none of us can win unless you’re willing to pay the ultimate sacrifice...and even that may not be enough.

Best of the series

I liked this one best of the 3 so far… lots of spice and heat. Twists and suspense with great chemistry between the main characters.

Amazing but trigger warning!!!

It’s a great book and spicy 🌶️! But there is a lot of SA and R related things in this book . So if you have any triggers with that please skip this one guys because it goes into detail. Your mental health is important Period! But also the book was great I liked how it took till the very end to figure out all Tysons reasons for why he is doing what he does and lakes deep family history and dark doings . Great book love the story and the 🌶️ romance between them . 10 out of 10

Wow!!

I usually don’t post reviews but I will for this book. I only purchase audiobooks and the narrators were AMAZING!! This book was an emotional roller coaster and I absolutely loved it and I highly recommend it!! Thanks for such a great book!!

🥵🥵🥵

Best book I have read in a LONG time! Absolutely killed it!! Now to watch for the movie 🥵🥰

Dark and twisted!

This is my favorite out of all of them. I love the story building. The attention to detail. Amazing characters.

3.75

Tyson has intrigued me since book 1 but
I gotta say that I didn’t really care for him for at least 40% of this book. After I got past that I enjoyed him and Lake together. I’m not sure what to think of the plot, it kinda felt a bit messy and all over the place.

Lukewarm about the relationship but interesting plot

This is a dark romance in the L.O.R.D.S. series but can be read as a standalone. Part of me is disgusted by this but the plot is interesting so I read on. The Lady is groomed to be wed off to a LORD. The Lady is a possession to be used and abused by the LORD in any manner he chooses. Generally, it’s basically sexual servitude. But obviously each of the books will have a coupled that do love each other, where the LORD is possessive and protective of his Lady. This book is about Tyson and Laikyn. Tyson “murdered” her older sister, Luke her husband-to-be is missing, and Tyson has chosen to take Laikyn to be his wife. He degrades her and rapes her, confused she ends of loving his treatment of her. It’s very rough sex.

The audiobook is co-narrated by Liam Dicosimo and Heather Firth. The narration is performed well, no complaints except sometimes I hear Blake instead of Lake. This is the first book in this series I listened to because it was on sale. I will try another and then decide if I wanna finish the series.

TROPES/ THEMES: college/post college, revenge, blackmail, infidelity, secret society, arranged marriage, rape, possessive MMC, consensual non-consent (CNC), dubious consent (dub con), pregnancy, murder, torture

great story line.

This one had a pretty good storyline that kept you guessing. Perfect amount of sexual content without being just about sex. This book explained a couple unanswered questions left in the other 2 books. I love the 18 years later at the end of each book so far
